From the acclaimed author of In Defence of Witches, a powerful exploration of self-blame, why women are prone to it, and what we can do about it.

Many of us battle a relentless inner critic that whispers to us we are unworthy or inadequate.

In How to Resist Guilt, a powerful manifesto about finding the courage to say no and replace ideas of duty with those of desire, Mona Chollet argues that we should protect our boundaries, demand what we deserve and enjoy the profound simplicity of just being.

Delving into the insidious ways guilt is wielded as a tool by those with power and privilege, she dissects its origins, interrogates the nature of shame and why we feel it, and encourages us to fight back.

‘Chollet has emerged as a quiet revolutionary, pushing back against the clichés and the patriarchy that shapes them' - The New York Times

Translated from French by Emily Boyce.
